Don't forget to adjust for demographic growth of the population, which if it is growing by some 2% or 2.5% annually, then actual consumption per capita might be falling. If so, then actual changes in behavior could propagate and affect consumption beyond what is being demonstrated in this report. Weather has been very mild also so far.

The distillate fuel demand has being 1.4 percent above the same period last year might be explained away in part by a cooler spring than last year keeping oil furnances on longer than last year. As to the supply of gasoline, while demand in up 0.9 percent above the same period last year, motor gasoline imports (including both finished gasoline and gasoline blending components) last week averaged 1.1 million barrels per day, and for the fifth consecutive week, extended the longest streak ever in which gasoline imports have averaged at least 1 million barrels per day. Gasoline inventories are not dangeriously low and refinary production increased. >> I would not want to be short crude myself. << I wouldn't want to be long or short crude or gasoline myself.
